THE ROLE OF ANTIOXIDANT THERAPY IN IMPROVING FOLLICULOGENESIS AND OVULATION IN INFERTILE WOMEN

Infertility is a global public health concern that significantly affects reproductive health and creates serious social and medical issues for many couples worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one in six couples suffers from infertility. The causes of infertility vary, one of which is disruption in folliculogenesis and ovulation processes in women. Ovulatory disorders account for approximately 30–40% of infertility cases in women. In recent years, many scientific studies have investigated the impact of antioxidants on reproductive health. For example, a study conducted by Davis et al. in 2020 demonstrated the effectiveness of antioxidant therapy in reducing oxidative stress and improving reproductive health in women.
